Woody and Alan Fledged


Woody and Alan the woodpigeons are now flying short trips from worktop to floor and sink unit. I stopped using the syringe to feed them yesterday, and they are now feeding and drinking on their own. Sunflower seeds, and porridge oat flakes are a favourite, with the occasional garden pea. I happened to notice sparrows eating dandelion leaves in the garden, so pulled a couple for the pigeons, they too nibbled happily on the leaves. They are so laid back and relaxed which is contagious ! They will be put in the Aviary shortly, to get them used to normal temperatures and also the other birds. (Short video today eating sunflower seeds)
